Answer:

Explanation:

To determine how many crates Tom needs to put 1000 bottles into, we can divide the number of bottles by the number of bottles that fit into one crate.

So,

number of crates = 1000 bottles / 24 bottles per crate = 1000 / 24 = 41.67 (approximately 42 crates)

Therefore, Tom needs 42 crates to put 1000 bottles into.
